2. 2

   Mix everything together until it forms a thick dough.

3. 3

   Use your hands to squeeze and roll the dough into a soft and smooth ball. It should not be sticky; add a little more flour if needed.

5. 5

   Press extra flaked almonds into the top of the dough.

   Alternatively, to oven bake: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 minutes.

8. 8

   Once cooked and slightly cooled, dust generously with icing sugar before serving.
